<br />There ,vas no work other than routine inspection and mainte-
<br />nance on any of the fifteen main pumps or motors, Reconstruction
<br />of certain parts of the operating mechanism on two more of the
<br />main pump discharge valves at Intake, Gene, and Iron Mountain
<br />plants was completed, Two of the remaining four valves were
<br />dismantled and similar work is in progress on them, The bush.
<br />ings in the 6900.volt main motill' circuit breakers at all plants were
<br />found to have deteriorated due to excessive summer heat, and new
<br />porcelain bushings were ordered. to replace them.
<br />Following sevel'e electrical storm.s in August 1945, the lightning
<br />arresters at Gene and Hayfield plants were found to,be seriously
<br />damaged, The failure apparently was the result of electrical dis-
<br />turbances caused by the opening of the 230-kv circuit breakers at
<br />Boulder, - ~\V !larfs' \Vere i>lihiiiled alld' afb-ofh !llants- tlie arreste,;s
<br />were moved from the line side of the breakers to new locations
<br />between the breakers and the transformers,
<br />Operation of the messhall at Iron Mountain camp was discon-
<br />tinued August 10, 1945, Gene messhall and dormitory were oper-
<br />ated dUl'ing the entire yedr.
<br />The average force for the entire pumping system, including
<br />pumping plants, transmi~sion lines, and telephone system, aver-
<br />aged about 75 dnring the year, All bnt one of the seven men from
<br />the pumping system who entered the armed forces had returned
<br />to District employment by the end of the fiscal year, Employment
<br />turnover was somewhat less than during the year 1944-45, There
<br />were 44 terminations and 41 positions were filled.
